Surgery Scheduled!

Tuesday, April 24 is my big day! I am having FAI/labral repair done arthroscopically. This means that the surgeon will only have to make several 2 inch puncture holes rather than having a 6-8 inch incision on my hip. My surgeons post op protocol is a bit aggressive with allowing 50% WB as tolerated. I will be on crutches for anywhere between 1-4 weeks. Recovery will be about 4 months and full recovery could take up to a year. I cannot wait to live a more pain free life!
